Supported Accommodation (SIL)

Find a place to live, and live the life you want.

For those who require 24/7 support, or significant day to day assistance , your Life Without Barriers team will partner with you to live as independently, and as well as you can, with others or on your own.

Your personalised plan will include support with:

Moving out for the first time into grouped accommodation, or into your own home

Living well with others in a group setting, or dealing with the responsibilities of living in your own home

Getting ready for the day, eating healthily, and keeping well

Short term accommodation and assistance

For those caring for others, we offer you:

A break from your day to day care and support

Full support to the person you care for

Fully staffed, home like accommodation

If you, or someone you are supporting, is interested in taking up a vacancy in any LWB managed shared accommodation, please email yourlwb@lwb.org.au. Our team will be in touch to discuss if any of our current vacancies meet your needs. We have Shared and Supported Living places available in most States and Territories.

Support in Your Community

Get involved in your community, whenever and wherever you want.

Your Life Without Barriers team will partner with you to create a plan of supports to meet your needs, help you maintain your personal and social wellbeing, and keep you in control of what you want and need.

Your personalised plan can be tailored to support you to:

Get out and about. Take part in your community, enjoy activities and experience new things either on your own, in a small group, or at a centre or hub

Learn new skills that you are interested in and that might help you at work or to get a job

Be creative and have fun

Feel more independent

Deal with the responsibilities of living in your own home, such as buying groceries, paying bills and budgeting your money

Health and Wellbeing

We can conduct a range of assessments. These include speech and swallowing assessments, health assessments, psychometric assessments, functional behavioural analysis assessments, adaptive assessments and psychosocial assessments.

This might include positive behaviour support planning, health care planning, safety planning, risk management planning, meal time management plans and personal planning. All plans are personalised to your circumstances and situation. We offer a range of therapy interventions, therapeutic counselling, skill development and group work.

Some of those with funding from the NDIS will receive funding for training to ensure those supporting them are well-prepared. We can offer staff training in positive behaviour support, mental health and recovery, suicidal thoughts and behaviour, tube feeding, diabetes and blood glucose level monitoring, epilepsy and midazolam, spinal cord injury support, health promotion, and dysphagia/dysphasia, in addition to a range of other health training packages.
